Cash's 1st Thanksgiving and Christmas

Those of you who have been blogging longer than I have please be patient with me. I'm blogging our trip a little out of order.

This morning David figured out how to get photo's into my blogs. I love this man! He's really handy to have around.

Let's go back a week or two to Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving in Hannibal, MO. My brother lives in the country and always has Thanksgiving in his huge (heated) garage. Chad, Hannah and Cash traveled to Hannibal with my niece and her family from Auburn, Il. There were four adults, three children and a HUGE Golden Lab, in a mini van.

Cash is now ten months old. During their stay in Hannibal we were able to have a early Christmas with my parents. As most children, Cash enjoyed the wrapping paper and boxes more than the play telephone he got from Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Oltman. It was really nice to be able to spend the holiday with our families.

We will pull out of the Memphis area Thursday Dec. 7th. I will catch up on my blogging once we get to Saucier, MS. Which will be on Dec. 10th. This is where we plan on spending the winter.

Memphis, TN

David and I pulled into Perryville, Mo. at 2:00 PM on Monday, Nov. 26. We really don't like to travel more than two hundred miles on traveling days. We made it through St. Louis with out any problems. We know we will be going through large cities but are not real comfortable with it. Six or eight lanes of traffic are a little daunting at times. David only closed his eyes a few times and he was driving.

On Thursday we drove to Memphis, TN. and stayed there for a week.While there we had the opportunity to spent time with Dan, Jenny Taylor and their two boys, Mason and Griffin. This family will start a year long RV Trip touring the US, home schooling their boys in March of 2008. They use Christian Curriculum.

On Friday they were studying about castles. They let me help them built castels out of rice crispy treats. The best part was getting to eat them when we were done. In the photos are me, Mason, Griffin and Jenny.

We took the trolley to do some site seeing on Saturday, Dec. 1st. It was 65 degrees. (We are loving this!)
